Im not really a Perl guy (wish I was!), but if the context of the variable is a string, then you could split the string into its component parts. Try a substring or split. Continuing with your modulus approach, divide by 10 to move the decimal point to the left.
How about using a regular expression (in this case any single character) to create an array using split. I dont really write any Perl (just hack around sometimes), so I am not really sure if this will work!
@a = split /./, $string;
